That was fast: Michelle Fairley has booked her TV return.

The Game of Thrones actress has been snatched up by USA Network’s legal dramedy Suits for a recurring role in season three.

She’ll play Ava Hessington, a British entrepreneur who runs a successful international oil company. Faced with a lawsuit that may cost her the family business, she puts her trust in Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) to fight the charges against her.

Fairley will make her Suits debut in the season premiere on July 16. And she’s not the only Game of Thrones actor on the show next season – Conleth Hill (Varys) will make a return appearance on the series in his guest star role as British firm head Edward Darby.
